Picot Edging

Hi Knitters,
Here is the video tutorial for the picot edging. I hope this helps. It is a fantastically quick edging to add to a blanket, bootie or hat. This is a sweet decorative finish for any baby knitting you are doing.
Enjoy!
best, susie
p.s. Man, do we have a squeaky door!

Susan, I love your books and blog!! We will be first time grandparents in aprox 5 weeks and I am making many things from your books. I am stuck on the assembly of the "grumpy old bear's" feet. I look forwarding to meeting you at the Yarnery in Minneapolis and will ask you in person.Sylvia BA

Oooh, I wish I could come knit with you every day (I don't mind squeaky doors!), you do amazing work, and I love the tutorials. I'll be trying the little chick hat soon. Right now I just bought yarn for the 'Monkey' socks on Knitty.com! And I'm eagerly awaiting my IBN from Amazon - still.Have a super Saturday.

Hey Susan. Can you answer a question about your gauge in your newest book? Is the gauge based on a swatch in stockinette? I'm particularly interested if this is the case with the cupcake hat and scarf. Thanks!

Love your blog. Wish I were a knitter but just never got the hang of it, I crochet. Sorry I missed seeing you when you were in Little Rock. I belong to a group called the Yarn Dolls and I hope to make lots of hats for the next Knitting for Noggins. Hope to see you there. Thanks again for your wonderful blog. Nancy

Thanks soooo much. I have done picot edging before, but forgot how (long time ago). Nowadays, all I can find is the 'fold over' picot edging, where people do rows of St st, and then a YO row and then more rows, then they fold over the YO edge and it LOOKS like you did picot. My only problem with this is, unless you are working with a very fine yarn, the doubled edge looks heavy and thick on a sweater or sock. I really had to search to find someone who had the 'other' technique I had originally learned, where the picot is ONLY on the edge!!! Thanks for the help - I bookmarked your page to use over and over when I need a light picot, and not the folded kind (it just seems like more work to me and doesn't look as lacey)Sincerely, JulibluePS I hope you did add a video of the crochet picot too!

Thank you Susan! I am so glad I can do this with knitting, since crochet intimidates me silly (sad but true) and I have an unfinished project hanging around waiting for a picot edge. Not for much longer!

Helpful, but I'd love to see a video on how to do picot edging with a crochet hook--I'm especially confused about how to get it started. I have the cupcake set all finished (except for the picot edge and cherries!). Got to finish before winter ends....

Hi,I am in the same position as the person above. I'm making the cupcake set and don't quite get how to do the picot edging with a crochet hook. I'm trying, but it just doesn't seem right. Could you post a video tutorial for that one, too, please?I love the patterns in Itty Bitty Nursery. I've have made two sweaters for my son - both of which get LOTS of compliments. Now I'm onto the cupcake set for my niece.Thanks!
